AT&T Oklahoma, and Terry
Neese, founder and CEO of the
Institute for the Economic
Empowerment of Women, are
shown with Peace Through
Business program participants
from Rwanda and Afghanistan in
Oklahoma City. The program, a
part of the Oklahoma City-based
Institute for Economic
Empowerment of Women, is built
on the understanding that eco-
nomically stable societies have a
much greater capacity for peace.
AT&T has been a major support-
er of IEEW and the Peace
Through Business program.
Since 2007, AT&T and the AT&T
Foundation have contributed
more than $1 million to IEEW. In
July, AT&T once again renewed
its support for IEEW and its
Peace Through Business pro-
gram, presenting Neese and
IEEW with a $125,000 contribu-
tion. COURTESY PHOTO
